Notes

Recorded at NYC, October 10, 1957.

The matrix/runout numbers on both sides of true first pressings show an interesting mistake that was crossed out (see images for these details). Crossed out on both sides is catalogue number 12130, after which the correct number for this release, 12117, was stamped in the dead wax. The catalogue number 12130, however, is also a Savoy release, namely "Dexter Gordon - Dexter Rides Again". This mistake suggests that during the preparations for the stampers, they possibly worked on both titles at the same time, which explains the mix up of the two catalogue numbers.


 

 

ALL GRADINGS ARE BASED ON THOROUGH VISUAL INSPECTION AND A FULL AUDITION

 

RECORD

1st original 1957 US mono pressing with "blood" super clean labels and wearless spindle hole

There's NO Deep Groove but this is absolutely a first pressing because on the runout is engraved, crossed out MG 12130 A and MG 12130 B (see pic) , as stated at the beginning of the liner notes

Matrix / runout (Side A)  : MG 12117 - A - X20.1 and RVG machine engraved   

Matrix / runout (Side B) :  MG 12117 - B - X20.1 and RVG machine engraved   

This thick and very heavy vinyl retains its fine original sheen and looks carefully played very few times

Visual grade

Side A: NEAR MINT

Excepting some extremely light, unfeelable hints of wax staining, the playing surface is free of any signs of handling.  With NO scuffs, NO marks, NO scratches

Side B: VERY VERY CLOSE to MINT

Playing surface free of any signs of wear or handling. With NO scuffs, NO marks, NO scratches

Audio grade : VERY VERY CLOSE to MINT

Plays great on both sides with NO noticeable blemishes of any kind! With NO tics, NO clicks, NO skips and  with NO surface or background noise, especially in the quieter passages too !

Cleaned with CLEAR AUDIO VACUUM MATRIX using its PURE GROOVE professional solution

 

COVER : MINT- to MINT

1st original thick, laminated front, cardboard rear jacket in beautiful condition!

The front side retains its striking original shape with NO laminate lifting

Graded as such (M-) only because of one insignificant, minuscule, lightest impact on the middle of the opening edge, hardly noticeable and not affecting the beauty and the integrity of the artwork whatsoever

 NO other noticeable flaws !

Sharp corners

Tight edges

Seams and spine : INTACT with NO wear

With NO ring-wear, NO dog-eared corners, NO seams splits, NO tears, NO writings, NO stamps, NO holes, NO stains

Immaculate, wearless and flawless back side
